A hot, low calorie soup makes a perfect lunch on the go!
STEP 1: Making Some Soup!
Toss a couple bullion cubes into your large travel mug (I used the one I brought my coffee in), add some dried minced onions, and fill with water. Make sure you either use hot (nearly boiling) water, or use a microwaveable cup, and microwave the whole mix until it's hot.
STEP 2: Spice It Up Like a Cheap Bastard!
A couple of packets of ketchup, hot sauce, salt or pepper will liven this soup right up ... if you feel the need.
STEP 3: Check Out Those Calories!
5 calories per cube?!!!! The same goes for those packs of ketchup and onions and whatnot. You'd have to add a hamburger or something to get this soup over 50 calories.

There's a recipe on allrecipes.com for slow-cooker pulled beef or roast (think au jus) where it calls for french onion soup (I guess that, technically makes it other than au jus, but anyway...) Unfortunately if you have an allergy to gluten (i.e. wheat, barley, rye) it's hard to find canned french-onion soup without a thickener that's wheat-based (i.e. "modified food starch"). This will do the trick, and for that I thank you! :-)
